#Review - Buddha Board - The Grown-Up Version of Paint with Water

I loved painting with water when I was a little squirt. Since I am really not much of an artist, just being able to stroke water upon a page and let it come alive was fascinating for me. Well, I'm a bit too old for that now, or am I?

Have you ever heard of the Buddha Board? It's the grown-up version of "paint with water," but with a little more "Zen." The Original Buddha Board is inspired by the Zen idea of living in the moment. The paintings that are created on the Buddha Board do just live for the moment.

I was sent the original Buddha Board to review. It comes with a special board to paint on, a bamboo brush and ‘Japanese style’ water tray/stand.

Simply add half an inch of water to the water tray, gently place the board into the notches of the tray, dip your bamboo brush in the water and ‘paint’ on the special surface of the board, watching as your creation boldly comes to life. As the water slowly evaporates your art will magically disappear, leaving you with a clean slate, a clear mind, and ready to create a whole new masterpiece.

Here I am adding the water to the tray/stand. Now it is time to create!

Well, just some doodles to start. The special board seems to absorb the water a bit, then it just evaporates away.

After each of your creations, the water will begin to evaporate. Once the water evaporates, the board is now clear for a new picture to be painted. It is supposed to take about three minutes for the water to evaporate fully, but in our dry desert air, it only takes about a minute.

Buddha Board is environmentally friendly - no ink, no paint, no chemicals - and will last for years with proper care.

It's really fun to create a bunch of pictures with just water! If you have a really great masterpiece, all you need to do to save it is snap a picture of it. This board is meant for doodling, having some fun, letting go.

Hello! Welcome to Danielle's Royalegacy Reviews and More. As a SAHM and long-time resident of the Southern California High Desert, I am devoted to my husband of 32 years, my six wonderful children, and now three sweet grandchildren. Starting in 1989, I home schooled all of my children with two becoming university graduates in chemistry and physics. We consider ourselves a family with character(s)!

My favorite things to do are play games with the family, play the piano, embroider, read, watch classic movies with the family, and bake bread. My husband may do most of the cooking in the family, which he loves to do, but I bake the best bread.

I focus my blog on items that would be of interest to families. Royalegacy Reviews and More is a family friendly site, so you will never see any adult content here.
